- OJFord 1y agoNix-Darwin completely broke on my not at all locked down fresh out of the box from Apple work Mac, refusing to uninstall itself even, so I had to wipe and reinstall macOS. (It was a new machine, so it wasn't a huge deal, but I'd really wanted it to work.)
- nocab 1y agofor future reference you should really consider installing it with the determinate nix installer [0] instead. it's multi-platform and among other things creates an install receipt so that changes can be painlessly reverted.

- OJFord 1y agoFairly sure that is what I used, though I remember being confused about whether Determinate Systems was the legit way, or super opinionated not necessarily most supported way, which was going to be least friction/widest adoption, etc.
